Thanks BDP24! Also, I found a pair of 20.1's on Audiogon for $7500; 1 owner, bought new in 2001, says 8/10 condition i.e. near perfect with a couple of scratches on the wood bracing that could be buffed or touched up. Any thoughts?

Too old to justify the price unless you can inspect it yourself. You have a higher risk of delamination since that is before the introduction of the new glue, which was 2007 or 2008. The condition and the storage history of the speaker is the main determinant of its value, delam risk rises with a history of exposure to sunlight and moisture. You need to ferret that out before making an offer.
Magnepan can replace broken drivers at some cost - the upside being that you have a new speaker with no known expiration date. So you need to keep that in mind when determining the right price to pay.
I'll keep looking. Good advise. These were in California and I'm in Georgia. Thanks Satie.
